DECISION
REF: SECSTATE 168902
1. Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Denisa Frelichova at
the UN and International Organizations Department at MFA.
Frelichova said that postponing final action on the UN budget
(option A in reftel) is a "red line" for Slovakia and the EU.
She said Slovakia's team in New York has a wide mandate to
agree to almost any other option, and said a rollover of the
budget with a minimal increase is Slovakia's preferred
option. She added, however, that a seven percent increase is
probably less than can be agreed given the cost of new
mandates the UN Secretariat has been given in the last year.
